2017 Brookman Merlot 95+/100, The Wine Front
Blewitt Springs. I remember, back in the mists of time, that I was impressed by the 1994 Chateau Reynella Basket Press Merlot. And indeed, I have a relative who has a bottle of that wine they want to give to me. Anyway, what I’m saying in a roundabout way, is that McLaren Vale Merlot rarely impresses. And then this! Black fruit, chocolate, oyster shell, liquorice and pencils, chamomile and mint. Medium to full-bodied, packed with firm graphite tannin, very deep and rolling, pipe tobacco and earth, balanced acidity, superb length with it. It has the ferrous feel of Blewitt, and tastes like proper Merlot should. Unapologetically tannic. Love this. 95+/100 (I should add, touch and go for 96 points, and best Australian Merlot I’ve tasted along with Blue Poles Reserve and Hillcrest Reserve (vale) and ’92 Mount Mary.)

2016 Kangarilla Grenache 95/100 RP
“Intensely vibrant and floral, the 2016 Kangarilla Grenache combines scents of roses and pomegranates with red raspberries, cherries and vaguely herbal, garrigue-like notes. It's medium to full-bodied, ripe and supple, with silky tannins on a long, lingering finish.”

2016 Liandra Syrah 93/100 RP
“The 2016 Liandra Syrah comes across as just slightly less rich and concentrated than the other single-vineyard Syrahs this vintage. On the nose, it dials up hints of hickory-smoked bacon, and purple raspberries, while the medium to full-bodied palate is supple and fluid, flowing into a silky, lingering finish.”
